What It Is

This is Blum's 95° CLIP top profile hinge, designed specifically for thick doors up to 32mm and doors with applied profiles or frames. The 95° opening angle means your door will open just beyond a right angle, suitable for most standard kitchen layouts.

Where It Fits

These hinges work with overlay doors that sit proud of the cabinet frame. They're particularly useful when you're working with thick door materials like solid timber, or when your door design includes applied mouldings or raised profiles that standard hinges can't accommodate.

How It Works

The CLIP mechanism allows the door to attach and detach from the hinge without tools, which is helpful during installation and future adjustments. You get three-dimensional adjustment with up to 3mm movement in height, 2mm side-to-side, and between +3mm to -1mm in depth using the spiral screw system.

Why It Matters

The tool-free attachment means your installer can make precise adjustments quickly, and if you ever need to remove a door for cleaning behind appliances or making repairs, it lifts straight off. The adjustment range helps ensure your doors align perfectly even when walls aren't quite square.

Design Consideration

The 95° opening angle works well in most kitchens, but consider your specific layout. If you have adjacent walls or appliances close to the hinge side, you might need the door to open wider. These hinges are essential when your doors are thicker than standard 19mm panels or have applied details that proud standard hinges won't clear.

Build Quality

Made from steel with a nickel finish, these hinges carry Blum's lifetime guarantee. The sprung closing mechanism provides a controlled close, and you can add Blum's BLUMOTION soft-close system or TIP-ON push-to-open mechanism if your design calls for it.

Options

This hinge requires a separate CLIP mounting plate, which gives you flexibility in positioning and adjustment. Cover caps are available to conceal the hinge boss and arm where they're visible.

Closing Guidance

If your kitchen uses thick doors or doors with applied profiles, this hinge solves the clearance issue that standard hinges can't handle. The question is whether the 95° opening angle suits your kitchen layout and whether you need the additional soft-close or push-open functions.
